It's nice to know that the police are protecting us from these dangerous child criminals.

A 12-year-old Kansas girl was hauled out of school in handcuffs and charged with a felony — for making a finger gun with her hands, according to reports.

The unidentified Overland Park youngster made the gesture during a class discussion last month in which another student asked which classmates she would kill if she could pick five, sources told the Kansas City Star.

She shaped her fingers like a gun — something routinely done in kids’ games — as she pointed to four of her classmates, before pointing her hand at herself, the paper said.

The girl and her classmates were initially sent to their principal at Westridge Middle School. But a school resource officer recommended she be arrested and called police, the Star said.

Officers hauled her out of school in handcuffs, arrested her and charged the child with a felony for threatening, the paper said. She was released to her mother and is due in court next Tuesday...

Court records claim that on Sept. 18, the girl “unlawfully and feloniously communicated a threat to commit violence, with the intent to place another, in fear, or with the intent to cause the evacuation, lock down or disruption in regular, ongoing activities,” the Star said.

I can't grasp the logic of these leftists. Weekly, the President gets highly publicized death threats from Hollywood loudmouths who suffer no repercussions because they're deemed "not serious".

A little kid makes a finger gun in a private setting and all hell breaks loose.

I'm not saying there aren't disturbed children, but as this is described it seems like some "expert" is a few fries short of a happy meal. I can't even count all the schoolyard threats I've heard in grammar school on a daily basis and most of them were just kids being kids.
